COVID 19 or the CORONA Virus global pandemic is now creating new challenges and staggering impact around the world. Experts are saying that people all over the world will have to learn to live along with COVID-19 and with a new way of living they now called the “New Normal.” This will mean adjusting to a new kind of lifestyle in which even the academe will not be exempted from a plethora of challenges. There is now the call for institutions to venture into a different educational set up and platforms. The imperatives of sustainability of this new set up point not only to new course content, but also to new ways of teaching that content.

In response to this situation CHEd Chairman Prospero De Vera said, that it will be easier to go into blended and flexible learning (https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/04/20/20/). This means combining online and offline learning systems and allows students to access lectures and activities at home.

Just as students are clamoring over the effects of distance and online learning, we cannot just disregard the pressure that are also being placed on teachers on how they are going to cope up during these times of uncertainties and the need to be skilful with the new learning environment.
